SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown is living up to his name.St. Brown said his father, John Brown, gave him his first name because he liked the word equanimity, which the dictionary defines as the quality of remaining calm, undisturbed, especially under tension or strain. St. Brown, known by his teammates as EQ, has displayed that calmness this season as hes stepped into a bigger role for the young Irish receiving corps.It adds a little more pressure but its not anything anyone cant handle, said St. Brown, who says his father added St. to his and his two brothers last names because he thought it sounded better and because Brown was originally a slave name.St. Brown, who had just one catch for eight yards last season before a shoulder injury ended his season in November, opened this season against Texas with five catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns. The second touchdown, a 30-yard score, was a highlight-reel moment as he put his hand on the ground and gracefully flipped into the end zone.I didnt realize what I did at the moment. I thought I actually just fell into the end zone, he said.The 6-foot-5, 205-pound sophomore could play an even bigger role this week for the 18th-ranked Irish (0-1) against Nevada (1-0) with Torii Hunter Jr., Notre Dames only experienced receiver, dealing with the effects of a concussion sustained in the loss to the Longhorns.Some younger guys are going to have to step up, which they will, St. Brown said.Coach Brian Kelly isnt ready to proclaim St. Brown as the next great receiver at Notre Dame.Its not going to revolve around him, but I think he gained some great confidence in his first game and its what we recruited him for, Kelly said.Kelly said St. Brown needs to do a better job blocking. But he also said St. Brown is a good route runner who is going to get open a lot.St. Brown credits his father, a former two-time Mr. Universe, with helping him to learn to become a receiver. St. Brown said he had no desire to get into body building so his father asked him what he wanted to do. When St. Brown said he wanted to be a receiver, his father helped him with weightlifting, got him some specialized coaching and signed him up to play football in Compton, where his father was from, to toughen him up.It was just going to play football, he said. It was a different environment. It wasnt anything extreme or anything. It wasnt crazy.St. Brown said although he expects to be more involved this season in the Notre Dame offense, he doesnt feel any different. Hes taking a calm approach to the season.Im just more focused on playing a bigger role on the team. Ive got to step up more, he said. Jimmy Garoppolo Super Bowl Jersey . The 31-year-old Spain midfielder hasnt played since Madrid lost in the Copa del Rey final to Atletico Madrid in May due to back and foot injuries. Matt Breida Super Bowl Jersey . The Redskins announced Monday that the quarterback who led the team to the Super Bowl championship in the 1987 season will serve as a personnel executive. https://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Deion-Sanders-Jersey/ . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. Y.A. Tittle Super Bowl Jersey . The 31-year-old Spain midfielder hasnt played since Madrid lost in the Copa del Rey final to Atletico Madrid in May due to back and foot injuries. Jason Verrett Super Bowl Jersey . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. It is one of the undeniable truths about sports. Not everybody plays.When kids first start in youth sports, particularly at the recreation levels, equity is the rule. Splitting playing time, making sure that everybody gets out on to the field or the court or the pitch, its as standard as orange slices at halftime.But it doesnt take long?before all of that sporting socialism is out the window in favor of competitive teams, travel rosters, school sports and theres simply nothing equitable about any of it.The most talented kids play. The coaches kids play. The league presidents kid plays. There are starters and benchwarmers, role players and garbage time players. The playing field becomes thoroughly uneven.And the view from the end of the bench isnt a particularly pleasant one. The kids can feel disappointment, isolation and frustration as they watch while others play. Their parents can experience their own frustration, sometimes taking an understandable urge to advocate for their child and turning it into damaging interactions with coaches, other parents and even their young athletes.Sports psychologist Sheriece Sadberry said the issue is often about expectations. ?Parents and athletes believe they have worked hard and are still working hard and they deserve to play, Sadberry said. Theres a lot of I deserve this intertwined in it.But really, its about getting to a place of acceptance of the situation and sometimes that acceptance is really hard to swallow.So many of us have had this experience with our kids, and it hasnt always lead to our best parenting moments, whether its the phone call to the coach you arent sure you should have made, or your kid begging you not to say anything lest it lead to even less playing time. Sometimes weve listened, sometimes we havent. Sometimes it makes things better and sometimes it really, really doesnt.Its so much harder to make a conscious effort to gulp back our own feelings while trying to encourage them to continue to work hard, to be positive and to be a good teammate even when they arent playing a lot.But I would argue that these are some of the most valuable and important lessons of the sports experience your kids will ever have.This is, very often, your childs first experience with adversity, at least as it pertains to their experience with sports. It is where they learn that hard work doesnt always come with a reward -- or at least an obvious one. It is where they learn that not everyone is treated the same. That things arent inherently fair.ddddddddddddJust like in life.But the lessons only stick if we believe them, too. The definition of success only expands for our kids if we expand our own definition.How a parent reacts can bleed over to their child, Sadberry said. Parents can make it better for a child. Or they can make it worse. And its hard when they dont get what they expect in return for what theyve put in.But as a parent, you can step back from viewing this experience for your child as an investment and focus on what other things your child can get from being an athlete, the benefits for playing a role, being part of a team dynamic, helping the team even if you arent a starter or a star. Its worth asking, whats the big picture as they get older and grown and develop?The big picture can often take a while to reveal itself.Five years ago, I was embedded for a season with the Stanford womens basketball team to chronicle their season. Toward the end of the year, as the Cardinal were preparing to make another run to the Womens Final Four, I wrote a feature about one of Stanfords bench players, Grace Mashore, a senior guard who was well-loved by her teammates and had barely seen the floor in a meaningful game in four years. She was a regular on the scout team during practice and a spectator in a uniform for the majority of her collegiate games.She was honest but guarded about her disappointment. She tried to be philosophical about the benefit of the experience of being on the team, but the regret in her voice wasnt hard to hear. Her parents also talked about how difficult it was to see her struggle with her lack of playing time, but how they also thought shed learned valuable lessons from the experience that would serve her well in life.More than a year after that piece ran, I ran into her at another event. She pulled me aside to tell me how that the piece changed how she viewed her experience as a college athlete.?She no longer defined it by what she didnt get to experience; she found a deeper appreciation for the opportunity to be a collegiate athlete and the relationships and friendships she built.?She thanked me for telling her story.It was a lovely moment, and a wonderful compliment. But the realization and the perspective was all hers.The lessons were hard, the value not obvious until later. But it showed up eventually. Just like in life. ' ' '
